The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 SUTHERLAND DRIVE sales between June 1995 and September 2007 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the November 1995 sale was for 61% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 61% below the HPI over time, until the September 2007 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
31 SUTHERLAND DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £371,572.
This is based on house price inflation of 58.8%, between September 2007 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the East Suffolk local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 58.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 31 SUTHERLAND DRIVE of £234,000 on 14th September 2007. For the value to have increased from £234,000 to £371,572 over the eighteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
